Church was amazing again this morning. And the funny thing was – I thought – was that I set through the band practicing their songs this morning none of them affected me during practice. Sure I enjoyed them, but the words didn’t grab a hold of me – I’d heard them all before.
\nThen during the service God really spoke through the message and several songs including this one by Ginny Owens, a singer-songwriter who lost her eyesight at the age of two.
\nI’m still not sure of all God wanted to tell me this morning, He’s still telling me more, but I know the last two years have had some ups and a lot of downs. Right now I’m on a huge undeserved up – but God remindeding me that He can still teach me and use me on the ups and on the downs. And of course the valleys may not be the way I want it to happen, it may not be the easy way, but God’s still there by my side either way.<\/p>\n
If You want me to
\nGinny Owens<\/p>\nThe pathway is broken
\nAnd The signs are unclear
\nAnd I don’t know the reason why You brought me here
\nBut just because You love me the way that You do
\nI’m gonna walk through the valley
\nIf You want me to <\/p>\nCause I’m not who I was
\nWhen I took my first step
\nAnd I’m clinging to the promise You’re not through with me yet
\nso if all of these trials bring me closer to you
\nThen I will go through the fire
\nIf You want me to <\/p>\nIt may not be the way I would have chosen
\nWhen you lead me through a world that’s not my home
\nBut You never said it would be easy
\nYou only said I’d never go alone <\/p>\nSo When the whole world turns against me
\nAnd I’m all by myself
\nAnd I can’t hear You answer my cries for help
\nI’ll remember the suffering Your love put You through
\nAnd I will go through the valley
\nIf You want me to <\/p>\nWhen I cross over Jordan,
\nI’m gonna sing, gonna shout
\nI’m gonna look into Your eyes and see
\nYou never let me down
\nSo take me on the pathway that will lead me home to You
\nAnd I will walk through the valley
\nIf You want me to<\/p>\nYes, I will walk through the valley
